The BOSS Katana-50 MkII is a highly versatile 50-watt, 1x12 modeling combo amplifier priced around $350. It features five amp voicings (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, and Acoustic), over 60 customizable BOSS Tone Studio effects, and a built-in Power Control that allows you to get cranked-amp tones at whisper-quiet volumes.

Core Features

• Amp Variations: The MkII doubles your tonal options by offering newly voiced variations for each of its five amp characters.
• Built-in Effects: You can use up to five simultaneous effects blocks (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, Reverb) without needing to carry a pedalboard.
• Power Control: Switchable attenuation (50W, 25W, or 0.5W) lets you retain thick, saturated tone whether you're practicing in your bedroom or playing a small gig.
• Power Amp In: Allows you to bypass the amp's preamp section, making it an excellent powered cabinet for external modelers and multi-effects units (like the Line 6 Helix or Quad Cortex).
• Connectivity: Features a USB out for direct recording to your computer, plus a jack on the rear panel for footswitches or an expression pedal.
